What happens to the widgets when the size of a dashboard changes?

When the size of a dashboard changes, the widgets scale proportionally to the new dashboard size. This dynamic adjustment ensures that the layout remains visually coherent and functional regardless of how the dashboard dimensions are altered. Proportional scaling helps maintain the user interface's usability and accessibility, allowing all widgets to be easily viewed and interacted with. By scaling proportionally, widgets can adapt to different screen sizes and resolutions, enhancing the overall user experience without requiring any additional effort from the end-user.

The other options do not accurately represent the behavior of widgets in this scenario. If widgets were static, they would not adjust to changes in the dashboard size, leading to potential layout issues. If they were to disappear, that would significantly hinder functionality and access to key information. Lastly, requiring manual adjustment would make the dashboard less user-friendly and could lead to inconsistency in how the information is presented. Therefore, widgets scaling proportionally is the most logical and effective design approach.
